I have to say, I get a real kick out of reading how everyone's doing here with their season! Love the evaporator on skis, exciting to hear about miles of tubing going up, and the tapping updates and expectations make me smile every time. It has been an early season for me, but this is just my third. So far I have collected about 115 gallons of sap on 70 taps, but I'd say half of that was on only 35 taps. I didn't have a tap in before Feb 20 last year. Most trees on my street are barely dripping today, but maybe the summer weather tomorrow will have them run some more. I'm already starting to shake with anticipation for what looks like a big run March 3-6th. But the most fun part for me today is that my dad came down and has been manning the evaporator (chopping/feeding firewood, scooping foam, tinkering with the warming pan feed) while I work my 9-to-5 and bring him a new bucket of RO-ed sap every hour. He is totally obsessed after 1 day of "the business" and we haven't even bottled yet haha! What a blessing to enjoy this hobby. Thanks to all on here who've given advice and make it that much more enjoyable with your updates. Boil on!
